Document $OLD_PERL_VERSION's history
$OLD_PERL_VERSION was added commented-out in Perl 5.6.0, when $PERL_VERSION became $^V. It remained unimplemented and undocumented until it was added to perlvar.pod, in the deprecated section, in 5.13.10. It was then implemented in English.pm in 5.19.10, but remained undocumented until 5.22.0.
